I agree! Vanessa herself said in an interview, that her family got along really well with Nick, so it shows that Nick did try to get to know her family and her life in Montreal, & they did go to his sister's wedding in Winconsin, but I just feel at the end, Nick & Vanessa didn't have much in common(different friends, lifestyles) & weren't able to work at the end. I just hope they can remain good friends, & find their own love & happiness at the end.
